Taylor Swift Joins Forbes' Top Country Earners

At just 19 years old and on the brink of her first headlining tour, she was the biggest-selling solo artist of 2008, with more than 4 million albums sold. Swift made history as the only artist to have two albums among the year-end top 10 albums. Those albums sales, plus songwriting talent and a strong tour presence earned Swift the No. 4 spot on our annual list of country music's top earners with an estimated take of $18 million.
